Jackson is the Bears’ second-most expensive salary-cap expense this season at $17.1 million.

WESTFIELD, Ind. — Three weeks into training camp, the Bears don’t know quite what they have on defense yet. Their personnel upgrades should mean they’ll be better than last season, when they allowed an NFL-worst 27.2 points per game, but it’s difficult to get a read on their progress with so many key players on the sideline.

Even coordinator Alan Williams isn’t sure where they stand.

“Can I answer that later?” he asked after the Bears finished a joint practice with the Colts at Grand Park Sports Complex on Wednesday evening.
